The Conspiracy Against the Human Race

"Behind the scenes of life lurks something pernicious that makes a nightmare of our world."

Thomas Ligotti's supernatural horror fiction is ranked among the most distinguished and disquieting in the genre. His first nonfiction book is no less estimable in exploring various domains to similarly disturbing effect.

Drawing on philosophy, literature, neuroscience, and other fields of study, Ligotti takes the penetrating lens of his imagination and turns it on his audience, causing them to grapple with the brutal reality that we are living a meaningless nightmare, and anyone who believes otherwise has simply fallen under the spell of an optimistic fallacy.

Now with a new foreword by the author, The Conspiracy against the Human Race may just convince readers that there is more than a measure of truth in the dismaying yet unexpectedly liberating negativity that is a hallmark of Ligotti's work.

"Thomas Ligotti is a master of a different order. Practically a different species... He writes like horror incarnate - Thomas Rafferty, The New York Times Book Review
